Cedar Hills – August 29, 2007 – Soundcrank, a worldwide provider of digital music services, today announced the availability of an embeddable Soundcrank widget for MySpace. With the Soundcrank widget embedded in a MySpace site, users can display their personal music tastes based upon their listening habits. The widget works in conjunction with the Soundcrank iTunes plug-in. The widget can display the following:

Most recently played songs
Most listened to song
Custom lists of albums, artists, or songs

"The MySpace widget was a direct result of the conversations we've had with users," said Brent Barnett, co-founder of Soundcrank. "They love the functionality that Soundcrank offers but wanted a way to integrate it into the social networking sites they were already using. These widgets make that possible."

The widgets provide users with an effortless way to keep friends up-to-date with information about music preferences. They work with any song played in iTunes unlike Apple's My iTunes widgets which only supports music purchased from the iTunes music store. The widgets were designed specifically for MySpace but will work on any site that supports Flash. For more information on the widgets please go to http://soundcrank.com/widget.aspx.

About Soundcrank – What makes Soundcrank different? Soundcrank was started in because of frustration with the digital music experience. The digital music world of MP3s and iPods provided unprecedented convenience and flexibility but something was missing. In the move from physical to digital only formats something was lost. After thoughtful examination of the digital music experience Soundcrank realized there had to be a better way! Soundcrank found that better way, and are excited to invite users to join Soundcrank and re-discover the digital music experience. The iTunes plug-in allows users to get album art and lyrics, discover new music and share your music tastes with your friends.
